Ron Dennis has rubbished suggestions that a growing rift is developing between McLaren-Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton and the young Briton’s manager father Anthony.
Though all seemed well following Hamilton’s flawless victory in front of his adoring home fans at Silverstone at the weekend, a report claimed that - despite their history that stretches all the way back to 1996, when the now 23-year-old was picked up by McLaren whilst still in karting - there has been a breakdown in relations with the Hamilton camp.
The report moreover hinted that Lewis and Anthony Hamilton ‘do not get along’ with the Woking-based outfit’s new head of communications, Matt Bishop - an argument Dennis refuted point-blank.
“That’s not worthy of comment,” the 61-year-old McLaren team principal is quoted by F1SA as having responded to reporters. “Everybody knows we are very close. I’ve always taken a personal interest in Lewis’ career, so those suggestions are without any foundation.”
